This Custom Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Combines Cafe Racer with Scrambler

Royal Enfield bikes are highly popular for customisation and modification projects both in India and abroad. The reason behind this is their user-friendliness, large fan base, and brand heritage. Numerous workshops across the country specialise in customising these bikes, and aftermarket components are readily available. For this reason, Royal Enfield motorcycles can be transformed into many different kinds of personal art. At the moment, one of the most popular models among modifications is the 650cc series. We found an Interceptor 650 that has been greatly modified. The Limited Edition 'Villain' Interceptor 650 has undergone extensive alterations, so let's take a closer look at them.

What are the Changes?

The bike has been transformed into a proper café racer with a chopped-off rear end, chunky tyres, and a sleek black-gunmetal paint job. Mechanically, it features USD forks, a slightly modified main frame, new clip-on handlebars for a café racer riding stance, and dual disc brakes on the front wheel.

Cosmetic changes include a new LED headlamp, black multi-spoke alloy wheels, bar-end mirrors, and a dual-tone paint scheme on the fuel tank with RE branding and Villain lettering. The main frame is gloss black, and the engine casing is also blacked out. The exhaust pipes are gloss black with Akrapovic branded tips.

At the rear, the bike has a sleek LED tail lamp and a distinctive seat cowl with Villain branding. The rear shock absorbers are stock but now have gold-finished canisters.

Chunky block pattern tyres enhance the overall look, although their practicality for a road-focused bike is debatable. The stylish and functional sump guard is seamlessly integrated into the new design.

The Engine

To our knowledge, the engine remains unchanged. The 650cc parallel-twin engine powering the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 produces 47bhp and 52Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed transmission.
